I'm gonna be an hero!

Broadcast E-mail to All UBC Students, Faculty and Staff from President Stephen J. Toope:

For the second time in a week, our Vancouver campus community has received a threatening message.

In this second case, an unspecific threat has been made for Wednesday. The threat does not specify a time, a location within the UBC Point Grey campus or the method of doing harm.

We must take such threats seriously, and we are working closely with senior RCMP personnel to address this new threat.

What can we all do when faced with such a threat? We are taking the advice of the RCMP to treat the non-specific nature of the threat with a higher level of community vigilance but to otherwise continue our normal activities.

However, because of the specific mention of the Biosciences building in the threatening message received last week, and the traumatic experience of the occupants who endured a full lockdown of the building at that time, classes will be cancelled tomorrow (Wednesday) in the Biosciences Building.

The Traumatic experience of a lockdown? What did they wet their pants or something? Its. A. Lockdown. The only thing that can get to you if the building is designed and the procedures are even half decent, is your fears.

It turned out to be a fake. I'm somewhat disappointed...
Maybe they'll have another threat, but I doubt it.
People who intend to shoot cheerleaders seldom announce it to the rest of the world beforehand.

And it was snowing so hard up at SFU today that the buses stopped running. My friends had to walk down a long ass hill to get home for Chinese New Year dinner...lol.
